Is it possible to avail Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leave if employee's son is suffering from down syndrome and while he is at home he cannot be left alone?

Answered by Rachel Green

FMLA and disability

Yes, if the child requires active assistance or supervision to provide self-care in at least three daily

living or instrumental activities of daily living because of his disability and his illness meets the

definition of a serious health condition under the FMLA.
